Hi folks,

For some reason our database server took a dirt nap. After inspecting, I found we had a lot of fake registrations from our Russian spammer friends, but I don't think that was the cause.

As it looks like they were trying to use us to distribute malware through our attachments system, I have temporarily disabled our forum from displaying images to unregistered guests. If you're a guest - please logon to see the images. I will relax this in a few days time. I have also de-registered all those fake users and banned the IP addresses behind them.

Please check out your PMs (I can't read them so I don't know if they're safe), and make sure you have not received any unwanted PM spam. If you have, please let me know.

thanks,
Andrew

thanks for the heads up Andrew, and thanks for all the extra effort u put in to keep the site we all know and love running as smoothly as it can. Hope everything is better now at home too.

Cheers Adam
